GLOSSARY OF COMMON TERMS
NIST*
The National Institute of Standards and Technology maintains the primary frequency standard for the
United States. The NIST also coordinates the United States time and frequency standards with other
world standards. The NIST provides time and frequency services for United States clientele.
WWVB*
The WWVB is an AM radio station in Ft. Collins, Colorado, managed by the NIST. The WWVB’s
function is to broadcast time-of-day information derived from the NIST atomic clock, located in Boulder,
Colorado.
ATOMIC CLOCK*
An atomic clock is an extremely accurate time device measuring time by the movements of electrons in
cesium atoms. The NIST atomic clock is one of the most precise clocks in the world, accurate to 10
billionths of one second. The NIST’s atomic clock contributes to the international group of clocks
calculating the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)—the official world time.
RADIO CONTROLLED TIME*
A radio controlled time device is often confused with an atomic clock. However, a radio controlled time
device receives its time information from the atomic clock each day through an internal antenna. The
radio controlled time device searches for an exact time signal every night when the signal from the
WWVB is the strongest. The signal can be received up to 2,000 miles away through a radio controlled
time device.
LCD
“LCD” is an acronym for ”Liquid Crystal Display”. This is a common type of display screen used in
televisions, computers, watches, and digital clocks.
CELSIUS (°C)
Celsius is metric system’s unit of measurement used to calculate temperature.
FAHRENHEIT (°F)
Fahrenheit is the common unit of measurement used to calculate temperature the United States.

SETTING-UP:
Alkaline batteries are recommended for use in both units. Avoid using
rechargeable batteries.
NOTE: Do not set-up the clock until the outdoor temperature is displayed.
1.
Place batteries in the outdoor transmitter first, then into the radio-controlled clock.
DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS FOR 15 MINUTES.
2.
After the 15 minutes both the Indoor and Outdoor areas on your clock should have a
temperature showing. If not, remove both sets of batteries, wait 15 minutes and repeat
step one.
3.
4.
After the clock receives the outdoor temperature, set your time zone using the manual
settings below. The default (factory) time zone is Eastern Standard Time.
After the clock receives the outdoor temperature the WWVB time code reception will
automatically start. This reception typically takes between 10-15 minutes in good
conditions. If after 15 minutes the WWVB time has not been received, use the “SET” key
to manually enter the set-up mode and change either the time or date in order to activate
the WWVB reception (see manual settings below). The clock will then automatically
attempt to receive the WWVB time from 12:00 am through 6:00 am each day (attempts
WWVB reception every full hour within this time frame). When this is successful, the
received time will override the manually set time. The date is also updated with the
received time (Please refer to notes on “Manual time setting”).
Note:
In the event of changing batteries of the unit, ensure that the batteries do not spring free from
the contacts. Always wait at least 15 minutes after removing the batteries before reinserting,
otherwise start up and transmission problems may occur.

WEATHER FORECAST
The weather forecasting feature is estimated to be 75% accurate. The weather forecast is
based solely upon the change of air pressure over time. The WS-8157U averages past air-
pressure readings to provide an accurate forecast, creating a necessity to disregard all weather
forecasting for 12-24 hours after the unit has been set-up, reset, or moved from one altitude to
another (i.e. from one floor of a building to another floor). In areas where the weather is not
affected by the change of air pressure, this feature will be less accurate.
Weather Icons
There are 3 possible weather icons that will be displayed in the LCD 2:
Sunny—indicates that the weather is expected to improve (not that the weather will be sunny).
6
Sun with Clouds—indicates that the weather is expected to be fair (not that the weather will be
sunny with clouds).
Clouds with Rain—indicates that the weather is expected to get worse (not that the weather will
be rainy).
The weather icons change when the unit detects a change in air pressure. The icons change in
order, from “sunny” to “partly sunny” to “cloudy” or the reverse. It will not change from “sunny”
directly to “rainy”, although it is possible for the change to occur quickly. If the symbols do not
change then the weather has not changed, or the change has been slow and gradual.
Weather Tendency Arrows
Other possible displays in LCD 2 are 2 weather tendency arrows, one that points up (on the left
side of the forecast) and one that points down (on the right side of the forecast). These arrows
reflect current changes in the air pressure. An arrow pointing up indicates that the air pressure
is increasing and the weather is expected to improve or remain good. An arrow pointing down
indicates that the air pressure is decreasing and the weather is expected to become worse or
remain poor. No arrow means the pressure is stable.
MANUAL SETTINGS

OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER:
The temperature is measured and transmitted to the radio-controlled clock every 1 minute. The
radio-controlled clock will update the temperature display every 5 minutes.
The range of the outdoor temperature transmitter may be affected by the temperature. At cold
temperatures the transmitting distance may be decreased. Please bear this in mind when
positioning the transmitter. Also the batteries may be reduced in power during periods of
extreme cold temperatures.
433MHz RECEPTION CHECK FOR OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER
The radio-controlled clock will receive the temperature data within 4 minutes. If the temperature
data is not being received 4 minutes after setting up (the display shows “- - -”), then please
check the following points:
1.
The distance of the radio-controlled clock or outdoor temperature transmitter should be at
least 6 feet (2 meters) away from any interfering sources such as computer monitors or
TV sets.
2.
3.
Avoid placing the receiver onto or in the immediate proximity of metal window frames.
Using other electrical products such as headphones or speakers operating on the same
signal frequency (433MHz) may prevent correct signal transmission and reception.
Neighbors using electrical devices operating on the 433MHz signal frequency can also
cause interference.
4.
12
Note:
When the 433 MHz signal is received correctly, do not re-open the battery cover of either the
outdoor temperature transmitter or radio-controlled clock, as the batteries may spring free from
the contacts and force a false reset. Should this happen accidentally then reset all units (see
Setting-up above) otherwise transmission problems may occur.
The maximum transmission range is 330 feet (100 meters) from the outdoor temperature
transmitter to the radio-controlled clock (in open space). However, this depends on the
surrounding environment and interference levels. If no reception is possible despite the
observation of these factors, all system units have to be reset (see Setting-up).
Note:
In case the radio-controlled clock is not able to detect the WWVB-signal (disturbances,
transmitting distance, etc.), the time can be manually set (please refer to notes on Manual time
setting)
.
POSITIONING
Before permanently mounting ensure that the radio-controlled clock is able to receive WWVB
signals from the desired location. Also, extreme and sudden changes in temperature will
decrease the accuracy of the radio-controlled clock, and changes in elevation will result with
inaccurate temperatures readings for the next 12 to 24 hours. These changes will require a 12
to 24 hour wait before obtaining reliable data.
To achieve a true temperature reading, avoid mounting where direct sunlight can reach the
outdoor temperature transmitter. It is recommended to mount the outdoor temperature
transmitter on a North-facing wall or in any well shaded area. The maximum transmitting range
is 330 feet (100 meters) obstacles such as walls, concrete, and large metal objects can reduce
the range.
Place both units in their desired location, and wait approximately 10 minutes before
permanently mounting to ensure that there is proper reception. The outdoor temperature
transmitter is not waterproof and should not be placed anywhere it will become submerged in
water or be directly in the rain.
13
POSITIONING THE RADIO-CONTROLLED CLOCK:
There are two possible ways to mount the radio-controlled clock:
•
•
use of the foldout table stand, or
wall mounting
FOLDOUT TABLE STAND
The foldout table stand leg is located on the backside. Pull the stand out from
the bottom center edge of the radio-controlled clock, below the battery
compartment. Once the foldout table stand is extended, place the radio-
controlled clock in an appropriate location.
WALL MOUNTING
1) Using a straightedge, horizontally space at 2-3/4 of an inch (70 mm)
three screw positions on a wall.
2) Install three mounting screws (not included) into a wall within
transmission range—leaving approximately 3/16 of an inch (5mm)
extended from the wall.
3) Place the radio-controlled clock onto the screws, using the hanging
holes on the backside. Gently pull the radio-controlled clock down to
lock the screws into place.
Note:
Always ensure that the radio-controlled clock locks onto the screws before
releasing.
14
POSITIONING THE OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER
